How many of you are familiar with the charming -very educational books called The McGuffey Readers but are not sure how to use them to their fullest potential? I have always loved the McGuffey Readers but was never sure just how to implement them. Did you know that the McGuffey Readers can be a Language Arts course covering spelling, vocabulary, copywork, dictation, narration, written narrations, and so forth? The McGuffey's New Fourth Eclectic Reader is recommended for grades 6-7 with a reading level of 6.8 to 8.9 with some stories reading level as high as 10.1. McGuffey's New Fifth Eclectic Reader is recommended for early to middle high school or as needed. Reading level 5.8 to 10.11. Reading progresses pretty quickly so don't let the 5.8 scare you with this being the Fifth Reader. Janice Campbell from Everyday Education has republished the 1857 edition of the McGuffey Readers . These are the last edition that McGuffy helped with. Janice found the 1857 edition that McG...
I have been having fun making reviews of The Thinking Tree's journals. It's so ADDICTING! Here are some where I show which journals are similar: These are two girl themed journals. ~Same pages -different cover ~Suggested 5-10 pages a day depending on your goals ~Bible journaling pages ~Had Bible verses on the Character pages ~No 'Circle Today's Date' pages ~Library books can be used daily or not depending on how many pages you have your child use You can purchase both journals at Amazon: 400 Activities & A Delightful Learning Guide .

Read my Fun-Schooling Journal Review of the four journals above. The two Fun-Schooling Journals have many of the same pages. One is more boy themed and doesn't have any mat...
I am loving my Pocket Size Journals from The Thinking Tree. This is the way I would have loved to been homeschooled. I tell the kiddos that when I'm all done homeschooling them~ I'm going to go back-to-school Thinking Tree style, hehe. I actually do use them. Right now I'm loving the these two! I can easily fit them in my purse and when waiting in line or sitting at the coffee shop I can work on a coloring page or writing. For the Music Time box I put in some lyrics to a song I was listening to and the title went int the audio book box. Sometimes I listen to an audio book but usually it's music. With your kids you can use that for podcast too. I know my older kiddos listen to a lot of podcast on real-estate and investing. I didn't actually watch a tutorial. I did watch a video of my son who is away at ALERT International, so I wrote about that. Science was funny. On our way to Annette's soccer game Lance had to use a barf bag. Later after the soccer game on the...
